A Visitng Moose

Tuesday, 8:30 am: Another cool night. The last two nights the low temperatures have been below freezing. As I write it is only 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This morning the fog has been light and is burning off slowly. If you look closely at the photograph of our house [below], you will see the frost in the foreground.
A few nights ago while driving on the Trans-Canada near Grand Falls New Brunswick; we saw a spectacular meteor flash through the northern skies. That was great! Thankfully we have had clear skies for the past three or four days. The rain and drizzle have finally stopped.
About 7:15 this morning our dogs alerted us to a four-legged intruder; a moose strolling near our house [see attached photo]. The young moose seemed to be unfazed by all the barking and commotion, and even ignored me when I walked to the edge of our yard for a better view and pictures.
Today our schedule is booked for shopping in town, then in the evening our amateur radio club meeting in Fort Kent. We have a day of driving from one end of northern Aroostook County to the other.
